I think the biggest issue with devices that are not officially supported will revolve around the camera. The iPad cameras, for instance, have no flash, so you’ll likely have to be more careful about lighting. Also, the iPad and iPod Touch cameras are only 5mp and don’t have as good a camera as the iPhones have. YMMV and all that, I’m sure Hai can get into more detail on this.
